Take the ride in the evening and watch the sun go down and watch the city lights as it gets darker
The suitcase with the portable desk and chair in the luggage department is amazing! Not so amazing is the fact that you can buy a puppy in a department store - makes me sad!
Just died and went to sushi heaven: All you can eat off the belt for £18,50 Tues-Thurs - simply amazing! Also loved the personal water-tabs with both still and fizzy water at the seats!
Saw STOMP and it was just amazing! Thank you for a great show - completely forgot everything about time and space! (When sitting at stalls you can't see upwards on the stage.)

This road was used as the route for transporting bricks after the Great Fire of London in 1666, hence the name. It now boasts the greatest concentration of curry houses in Britain.
The bridge had to close within days of its opening in 2000 because of a slight wobble, which caused people to walk in step with each other, causing the wobble to become much worse!
